Ok, so I was driving down the road and I heard this sound that sounded like a horn going off in the distance. I came to a stop at my destination, and the sound continued, so I rolled down my window, but could not hear anything. I noticed that everything on my cluster except for the speedometer and the trip guage stopped working, and the soudn was coming from the cluster. (very faint whining)

When i stopped the car and took the key out, then turned to KOEO, the buzzer would not stop ringing, and the only lights that came on were the battery light, ABS, and Check engine. With the engine on, the buzzer would stay on unless the door was shut, and like i said, nothing worked (except the speedo, but i was idling).

I changed the dash bulbs a couple weeks ago, but I have done it before and was pretty careful.

Can anyone think of a reason for this to happen? I checked most of the connections in the back and they all seemed to be fine. But I can no longer see how much gas I have or the engine temp, and I am going to drive 200 miles out of town on Friday, so this could be a problem.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
